Don’t Forget


Remember your last healing

Have you ever prayed God would correct something in your life, and He did? Have you ever asked Him to bless you, or a member of your family, and He did? Do you remember your last healing? Many of us are guilty of having some really short-term memories; we forget all the good things God has done for us way too soon. It’s like we pray and pray because our problem or situation is very serious, and then faithfully God answers our prayers, then before long we’ve forgotten all about His special “gift” or His blessing. We go back to all the other things we used to think about, and now, that which we prayed for, and got, are no longer a problem for us, so we just forget what He has done for us. Shame on us!

I am reminded by the Holy Spirit, it’s important that we stop and realize how complacent and forgetful we can be. I know I am guilty of forgetting His wonderful work myself. In fact, several weeks ago, I asked God to help me with an anxiety problem I was having. He graciously allowed me time to think about what I had been worrying about, and to come to realize I was trying once again to deal with life on my own. I know better, but I sometimes slip back into some old habits! Once I gave in and seriously confided that I needed Him to help me, all my reasons for worrying were gone! It was as though I had been struggling for nothing!

The Holy Spirit suggested today that I continue thanking God for what He has done for me. Fortunately, for me, He did just about the time I was almost starting to take Him for granted again. I am ashamed! Forgive me LORD! And, He softly says to me…”I WILL!”

Remember your blessings. Thank your Father for all He has given you and will continue to give you. Our God is an awesome God!

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.
